Charlie and Colin dive deep into the dangerous parallels between today’s Bitcoin treasury companies and the 1929 investment trust bubble. They analyze how companies like MicroStrategy use convertible debt to accumulate Bitcoin, why this creates systemic risk, and how forced selling could trigger a catastrophic unwind. From Ponzi-like dividend structures to the speculative attack strategy, they break down why this leverage-fueled boom might end badly.
